[2021] 2 players / same network / desync issues

Hi everyone,

So we play on a dedicated hosted server. All from our own homes. No problems whatsoever usually.

Tonight my brother is at my place. He logged on his Steam account on my second PC. We both connected to our usual server from different computers, same network.

We are experiencing huge desync issues. Impossible to play.

Is this just my internet being too slow ? Any ideas ? :/

ps: flagging as "bug" but this is more a "help" post

edit: We were both on ethernet. I have very low but stable internet. 8MB down / 0.85MB up.

Wifey was indeed on Netflix via wifi when we experienced the most desyncs. We experienced less when she went to bed and we cut wifi, but still experienced some pretty bad ones.

The funny thing is that another friend joined us after I started this thread. We noticed that he was experiencing desyncs too ! Not just looking at us, but on his own character. Like hitting things and getting no response. When I disconnected, desyncs stopped for him.

My internet is surely at least partly to blame, but that's a new one to me. :/

I suffer very few desyncs when playing on that server with those same people when it's just me playing at home, even with wifey on Netflix.
